More Information About Puget Sound Region, WA
The Puget Sound region is characterized by saltwater bays, islands and peninsulas. It is nicknamed "Ish River Country" due to the numerous rivers with names ending in "ish," such as the Duwamish River, Samish River, Skokomish River, Skykomish River, Snohomish River and Stillguamish River. The "ish" ending comes from the Salish language which means "people of." This region is centered around the city of Seattle, with the urban center cities of Tacoma and Olympia nearby, forming what has been called "Pugetopolis." Seattle and Tacoma have large industrial areas and seaports, as well as a central business district. They are primarily suburban with a small downtown core. There are numerous ports in the region, with the largest and busiest being the Port of Seattle and Port of Tacoma, which combined equal the third largest container port in North America.
